School #10 provided classes for girls; #10B met in the afternoon. Most students at School #10B in September 1941 were between 9 and 15 years old, meaning that they were born between 1926 and 1932.
School #10 was located at Ulica Franciszkańska 13. The street name was changed to Franzstrasse when German occupation began in 1939. You can read more about and see pictures of Ulica Franciszkańska at

User Comment:
This is the only person that I could find with a birth year that is within the range that was given for Masza Lewkowicz. Sadly, there is not a day or month to be found. I thought it was interesting that they posted another last name which is Herszkowi.
Approver Comment:
I agree that you've found the person most likely to have signed the album as Masza Lewkowicz--in 1941, she would have been around 10 years old, an appropriate age (as you suggest) for school #10b. Also note her address: Reigergasse 8, #4.
I'm also intrigued by the fact they list another last name. Did you search for Masza Herszkowi (likely Herszkowicz) to see what came up? Very excited to see what else you find.
